Snippets

foreach structure in Snippets?

Brent Critchfield

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but I thought I'd check anyways... is there any way to implement a foreach loop in Snippets? I'm building a menu (you already helped me with a bug in Articles Anywhere for this project). I'd like to be able to write a tag like

{snippet alias="menu" tag="appetizers,salads,sandwiches,desserts"}

and have the snippet repeat for each of those categories.

No, Snippets does not have that functionality.

You could make a loop with php through Sourcerer, which outputs the Snippet tags.

Ok, I'll look into that approach. Thanks!

You can do something like:

{source}<?php

$tags = ['appetizers', 'salads', 'sandwiches', 'desserts'];

foreach($tags as $tag)
{
   echo '{snippet alias="menu" tag="' . $tag . '"}';
}

?>{/source}

Make sure the Snippets system plugin is ordered AFTER Sourcerer.
